Altidore replaced Argentinean Pablo Batalla in the 66th minute, but saw too little of the ball to make a serious impact.

The loss keeps Bursaspor in third place, 15 points out of a Champions League spot, though they are still comfortably in line for Europa League qualification.

Altidore will hope to return to the starting lineup next week against Manisaspor.

Notes:

Freddy Adu sat out Rizespor's 0-0 tie with Boluspor, potentially because he has been battling illness. The tie, which included multiple ejections and myriad yellow cards, keeps Rizespor in a three-way tie for third place with Tavşanlı and G. Antep B.
